Restricted numerical shadow $P^X_A(z)$ of an operator $A$ of order $N$ is a probability distribution supported on the numerical range $W_X(A)$ restricted to a certain subset $X$ of the set of all pure states - normalized, one-dimensional…
For any operator $M$ acting on an $N$-dimensional Hilbert space $H_N$ we introduce its numerical shadow, which is a probability measure on the complex plane supported by the numerical range of $M$. The shadow of $M$ at point $z$ is defined…
The totality of normalised density matrices of order N forms a convex set Q_N in R^(N^2-1). Working with the flat geometry induced by the Hilbert-Schmidt distance we consider images of orthogonal projections of Q_N onto a two-plane and show…
Numerical range of a Hermitian operator X is defined as the set of all possible expectation values of this observable among a normalized quantum state. We analyze a modification of this definition in which the expectation value is taken…
This work introduces a rigorous notion of localization probability of a quantum state within a given subspace of its Hilbert space. A non-negative operator A is uniquely decomposed as A=B+C, where B is the maximal positive operator…
Consider a complex Hilbert space $\left(\mathcal{H}, \langle \cdot, \cdot \rangle\right)$ equipped with a positive bounded linear operator $A$ on $\mathcal{H}$. This induces a semi-norm $\|\cdot\|_A$ through the semi-inner product $\langle…

Consider the question: what statistical ensemble corresponds to minimal prior knowledge about a quantum system ? For the case where the system is in fact known to be in a pure state there is an obvious answer, corresponding to the unique…
We obtain new lower and upper bounds for the numerical radius of a bounded linear operator $A$ on a complex Hilbert space, which refine the existing ones. In particular, if $w(A)$ and $\|A\|$ denote the numerical radius and operator norm of…
Classical surfaces in phase space correspond to quantum states in Hilbert space. Subsystems specify factor spaces of the Hilbert space. An entangled state corresponds semiclassically to a surface that cannot be decomposed into a product of…
The paper considers some new properties of the so-called $A$-maximal numerical range of operators, denoted by $W_{\max}^A(\cdot)$, where $A$ is a positive bounded linear operator acting on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. Some…
In the problem of entanglement there exist two different notions. One is the entanglement of a quantum state, characterizing the state structure. The other is entanglement production by quantum operators, describing the action of operators…
Entanglement is defined for each vector subspace of the tensor product of two finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, by applying the notion of operator entanglement to the projection operator onto that subspace. The operator Schmidt…
The expectation values of operators drawn from a single quantum state cannot be outside of a particular region, called their allowed region or the joint numerical range of the operators. Basically, the allowed region is an image of the…
The typicality approach and the Hilbert space averaging method as its technical manifestation are important concepts of quantum statistical mechanics. Extensively used for expectation values we extend them in this paper to transition…
A statistical model M is a family of probability distributions, characterised by a set of continuous parameters known as the parameter space. This possesses natural geometrical properties induced by the embedding of the family of…
We show that the manifold of quantum states is endowed with a rich and nontrivial geometric structure. We derive the Fubini-Study metric of the projective Hilbert space of a multi-qubit quantum system, endowing it with a Riemannian metric…
We study infinite weighted graphs with view to \textquotedblleft limits at infinity,\textquotedblright or boundaries at infinity. Examples of such weighted graphs arise in infinite (in practice, that means \textquotedblleft…
We imagine an experiment on an unknown quantum mechanical system in which the system is prepared in various ways and a range of measurements are performed. For each measurement M and preparation rho the experimenter can determine, given…
